1 big thing: How 2018 could be remembered

America is suffering through a "trust crash," with faith in government at abysmal lows and faith in other institutions not looking much prettier. But when you look at the big political trends, there's some reason for hope.

"The array of massive women’s marches in January 2017, primarily a backlash to Donald Trump’s election as president, served as prelude to the #MeToo movement."

"Tens of thousands of students across the U.S. walked out of their classrooms on March 14 to demand action by politicians [on gun violence], a prelude to this weekend’s March for Our Lives."

"Public school teachers in West Virginia provided a dramatic example of how organized activism can prevail. After a nine-day walkout, they won a 5 percent pay raise even though they lacked collective bargaining rights and had no legal right to strike."

"Racial tensions also have fueled activism, including the Black Lives Matter campaign protesting the deaths of black men at the hands of police, and the take-a-knee protests by some National Football League players."

"Nearly 500 women — roughly three-quarters of them Democrats — plan to run for Congress this year... up from 334 women who filed to run... in 2012, the previous record high."

Flashback: "The protests have echoes of [2010, when] ... conservatives staged boisterous rallies around the country in response to President Barack Obama’s health care law. The tea party movement helped Republicans complete a takeover of Congress the midterm elections that year."

Why it matters: The continued rise of mass movements, while not always pretty, shows people still believe in their power to shape the system.
